Toxic work environment

Pros

If you enjoy a binge drinking/frat house atmosphere and don’t care about your future or company morale, this place is for you!

Cons

If you are a woman, a POC, or simply a human with decency who is looking for a great career and a healthy work environment, this place IS NOT FOR YOU. Hoping this review might save someone from ever working here. Never experienced such a horrific work environment in my entire life. This is a racist, cliquey, immature, hostile work environment. Anyone with an ounce of morale will either speak up or quit. As soon as you speak up about the corrupt environment, you are gossiped about and no longer supported. Highly unprofessional - and that’s not in a “fun” or “cool company culture” type of way. It’s highly unprofessional in an uncomfortable, degrading type of way. Heard employees make fun of multiple new hires right from the get go. Managers will also only hire “attractive” predominately white, recent college grads for recruiters (assuming the binge drinking is a great selling point for that niche) And those who have already been there for years are brainwashed into thinking a refrigerator full of alcohol is “company culture” and ok to consume at 1pm on a Monday. Multiple rounds of shots at happy hour (could be 6 shots per person) are charged on the company card yet managers belittle their recruiters for not meeting their numbers... TOXIC. Favoritism left and right. Managers gossip more than their own employees do, so they just encourage that type of high school, childlike environment. Higher ups will claim the high turnover rate is simply part of the recruiting industry - when truthfully their management style is garbage, resulting in employees crying everyday in private, hating their life, or moving on to a more ethical recruiting firm with better pay. As soon as I got hired here, recruiters and BDMs were quitting left and right. Most of them warned me of the horrors of this place and my regret is not leaving earlier on. When I saw the married, middle aged male in my office inappropriately touching and grinding on the dance floor with a recent college grad recruiter at a work event, I knew this place was trash.

Pros

Met some cool people there and we got free breakfast occasionally

Cons

It was like you were a prisoner working for this company You are micromanaged at extreme levels! You are expected to be on the phone all day and if you go out to get fresh air for 5 minutes you are questioned about it. When i went quickly to get a drink from the vending machine i was questioned, and we were even told to let the manager know when we were going to the bathroom. You have to make 100 phone conversations and 100 voicemails left per week, on top of that you have to bring in at least 10 people to meet you in the office a week. If you dont meet these numbers you will at the least have to meet with your manager . (I did meet these insane numbers but it left me no time to find talented people to help get jobs. You are reduced to dialing as many people as you can and the first ones you can get on the phone, regardless of talent. The focus is on quantity over quality, rather than helping people find jobs they just want to put as many people into their Bullhorn system as possible. With the churn rate they have that is all they care about is notes for future employees. Because they know that the turnover rate is on average 3-6 months per employee.
